Question

4x+3+7x-12=6y-2
Find y

Answer 1

y= (11x - 7) / 6

Explanation:

First, combine like terms. Since 4x and 7x both have the x variable at the end, you would put them together. You would also but 3 and -12 together as they don't have one, which gives us:

11x - 9 = 6y - 2

Next, we need to get y by itself, so we do reverse operations and add 2 in order to get it on the opposite side of the equal sign:

11x - 7 = 6y

Then, we would divide by 6 so that y will be completely on its own:

(11x - 7) / 6 = y

This would be your answer the equation now gives you the value of y.
